Description: Britain began the twenty - first century convinced of its creativity. Throughout the New Labour era the visual and performing arts museums and galleries were ceaselessly promoted as a stimulus to national economic revival a post - industrial revolution where spending on culture would solve everything from national decline to crime. Tony Blair heralded it a "golden age." Yet despite huge investment the audience for the arts remained a privileged minority. So what went wrong? In Cultural Capital leading historian Robert Hewison gives an in - depth account of how creative Britain lost its way. From Cool Britannia and the Millennium Dome to the Olympics and beyond he shows how culture became a commodity and how target - obsessed managerialism stifled creativity. In response to the failures of New Labour and the austerity measures of the Coalition government Hewison argues for a new relationship between politics and the arts.
